I think the problem is the download time. I do have a 56K modem and I do
download the mozart distributions for redhat linux and windows this way. It
takes me several hours - about 4-5 - to download the windows distrib. It is
really too big. But it's ok with me, as I want the docs too. But when you
deploy an application that requires it, and you can't get in touch phisicaly
to handle a CD (as I currently do), you have to make them download the
distrib. For such cases I think the docs should be a separate package to
download from the Mozart site. This should solve, at least partially, the
problem of deploying applications remotely.

I suppose it is simple to split the windows distrib in two parts. It really
will be useful.

Have a nice day,
